Minnesota’s Best Available: The Best for All Levels
Looking for players in Minnesota? Regardless of what level you are, we run you through a list of names to look at.
High Major. There are three players with high major ability that have not committed yet: Matthew Hurt, Zeke Nnaji, and David Roddy. Matthew Hurt has an offer from everyone and Zeke Nnaji was close to having one from everyone until he cut his list to Kansas, Arizona, UCLA, Baylor, and Purdue. David Roddy is down to Minnesota, Colorado State, and Northwestern (visit to Evanston later this month) as well as potential football options.
Division One Schools. The mid-major and low-major levels of college basketball are always looking for talent. Who should you call? The following players are available, talented, and they are hearing from D1 schools.

Need a Season. For many players their level seems pretty clear right now, or at least at the moment. But there are several other guys that for various reasons (injury, 17u opportunity, improvements made already that we want to see this winter vs top players etc) we think could go to many different spots, and look forward to watching them this winter to see what happens.
